Macro Tracking and IIFYM

Posted on: Apr 2, 2019

Have you come across the term If It Fit Your Macros before? Well, if you are interested in fitness, it’s highly likely you have. However, if you haven’t before, this blogpost will hopefully introduce you to it a bit.

Macros, are the main macronutrients you should consume through your diet- protein, carbs and fat. In the diet style/ lifestyle of IIFYM, these are the main components a person tracks when choosing their snacks and meals. With multiple online platforms and apps out there now, which are made to make your macro tracking easier, it can be as simple as picking up a pre-made sandwich or snack and scanning it’s barcode. The nutritional information of that product is then displayed and added onto your consumed food log for the day. IIFYM may help users lose weight by tracking macronutrients without restricting food choices. Macros are the only place calories come from so by hitting macros, users inherently hit weight loss calories
